CHICAGO, June 2O.-Mr. Forbes, director
of the state laboratory, says in his report that
IN certain localities IN southern Illinois the
Hessian fly has done great damage to crops,
while In others planted corn was almost en-
tirely taken by cutwOrns. In some sections
vegetables, oats and grass were consumed.
A hopeful Induction for the future, however,
Is found in that an epidemic disease has ap-
peared among the worms and carried them
off by the millions. The disease is caused
by bacteria. The same disease was recently
found destroying great numbers of
the army worm In jackson
county. Experiments are being made
to see if these bacteria cannot be prOpa-
gated, and used for destroying great pests
generally. An insect was never before
exported so injurious IN America, or made
such serious damage IN meadows, except the
common large mosquito, which eats off the
grass roots just below the surface of the
soil. The chintZ bug is again at work over
a large area infested last year, also through
out large portion of the state an extraOrdi-
nary outbreak of the COrn-rOOt web worm,
which has increased with such rapidity that
thousands of acres Of corn have been de-
strOyed by it this season. Experiments have
lately been made, which indicates that its
ravages may be successfully checked by
chemical poisOns being applied.

killed, and j.. A. Conn, a. member
OF the town company, was shot in the leg.
Particulars thus far obtainable are rather
meagrs, but indicate that the murder of
Young Mccarthy was cold blOoded and COW
ardly. Our informant says that the victim
was in q saloon, lying on the
floor considerably intoxicated, when
another cowboy, whose name
had not yet been learned, came up and
asked MCCARTHY to get up and 90 with him.

seems to have been no cause for the act

Asnbmarine Cable.

SAN FRAECIsCO, June ga year and a
half ago a proposition was advanced that if
a subsidy could be secured from the United
States government a submarine cable would
be laid from San Francisco to

Marlborough, convicted Of the murder
of L. d. Collier, was sentenced at
Emporia to be hanged. During the
time he was in the court room Marlborough

take any interest In the proceedings.
His appearance was about the same as
during the progress Of the trial, save
that he was a little thinner, owing to
his recent sickness cRUsedIby the attempt
at suicide.

leg between the knee and ranging up
